Apparently, you are resetting the input 'params' within the function
EstimateRhoAndVol() to c(0.5, 0.5) regardless of what the actual input is.
No wonder that 'optim' returns the starting values: it sees a constant
function.

Besides that, you have to be more careful with NAs in the SABR model.
Did you try out the function? --- Are you testing the list?
